We all know Telluride can be exhausting, whether from the altitude change, a long hike, dancing to the music at a festival, or just a day full of sight-seeing...so what better way to relax from all the hustle & bustle then spending the day at one of Telluride's finest day spas?

3) It's the perfect time of year to be outside in Telluride. The season's are a-changin', and the valley floor is exceptionally gorgeous as the colors shift from green to various shades of orange & red. It's also a great time check out some wildlife, like the elk and prairie dogs that inhabit the valley floor. Grab a bike and experience this invigorating season for yourself!

EXPERIENCE

4) It's football season again! Head over to Brown Dog Pizza to catch your favorite teams playing on the huge flat screen TV's, and grab a beer (there is a huge tap selection) and a $2.50 slice of pizza while you're at it. We're big fans of the Brown Dog, and we think it's the perfect place to capture the true essence of T-Ride!
